Erfassung motorische Basiskompetenzen in der fünften Jahrgangsstufe
No full textMotorische Basiskompetenzen werden als nachhaltig erlernbare und funktionale Leistungsdispositionen verstanden. Sie gewährleisten eine basale Handlungsfähigkeit im Sport, indem Schüler (1) Sport und Bewegung qualifiziert ausführen können. Aufbauend auf dem MOBAK-1 und MOBAK-3 Testinstrument (ausführlich Herrmann & Gerlach, 2014; Herrmann, 2015) wird das MOBAK-5 Testinstrument für die fünfte Schulklasse vorgestellt, welche mittels unterrichtsnaher Testaufgaben die Kompetenzbereiche Sich-Bewegen und Etwas-Bewegen abdeckt. Die daraus gewonnenen Informationen können neben der Evaluation des Sportunterrichts dazu genutzt werden, eine gute Passung zwischen den unterschiedlichen Schülervoraussetzungen und den Lerngelegenheiten herzustellen.
Basic motor competencies are defined as a functional level of competence which can be learned and retained. Such competencies provide a guarantee of a student’s elementary ability for students to actively participate in sports. Based on the test instruments MOBAK-1 and MOBAK-3 (see Herrmann and Gerlach, 2014; Herrmann, 2015), the author presents the adaptation for fifth graders (MOBAK-5), which uses test items closely related to the curriculum to cover the areas of competence defined as “self-movement” and “object movement.” The recorded data can be used to both evaluate the physical education class as well as better coordinate the students’ varying prerequisites and learning opportunities
Preface. World's new princedoms: critical remarks on claimed alternatives by new life
No full text[Extract] The way we view the world, envisage possibilities for social change and strive for improvement in the quality of life is highly complex, with significant challenges in rapidly changing landscapes of the 21st century.
This book, edited by Herrmann and with contributions from Earles and Kratzwald, revisits, with fresh insight, key sociological, philosophical, political and cultural theoretical frameworks of relevance to contemporary globalised world. The book is thought-provoking in its central thesis which posits that there is a tendency for the 'refeudalisation' of production and reproduction and where economics is enmeshed with all elements of social life. Herrmann takes us on a journey of revisiting the concept of citizenship, that all important, and yet unclear concept We are confronted with how citizenship is redefined in the face of modern globalised capitalism where the state is an instrument of global economics. The author visits key questions of rights, inclusion-exclusion within bounded territoriality and spatial boundaries in the context of globalisation where borders are porous. The notion of citizenship calls into question its inextricable links to the nation-state. Herrmann challenges us to think through the complexity of this relationship including the technocratic nature of contemporary nation-states, what is the 'common good' and the relevance of collective rights. He also presents a critique of the nation state across the different historical stages of society (from slave society to global capitalist) and how the different stages of the nation state are characterised (i) on power, (ii) territoriality and (iii) on how it is related to economic structures and class division/division of labour

Family and Everyday Life in Selected Tales by Ignat Herrmann
No full textVe své diplomové práci jsem se zaměřila na systematický rozbor několika vybraných povídek spisovatele Ignáta Herrmanna. Ignát Herrmann (1854-1935) byl novinářem, fejetonistou, romanopiscem, autorem mnoha povídek a vzpomínek na starou Prahu. K jeho nejznámějším dílům patří existenciální román U snědeného krámu a humoristický román Otec Kondelík a ženich Vejvara. Ve své práci jsem se orientovala na způsob zobrazení jednotlivých postav v rámci jejich fikčních světů, které jsou tvořeny především rodinným prostředím. Ve vybraných dílech jsem analyzovala literární ztvárnění rodiny, vzájemných rodinných vztahů a každodennosti. Výzkum jsem zaměřila na díla vydaná mezi lety 1893 až 1913 s důrazem na různě zobrazené téma rodiny. Pro svůj výzkum jsem vybrala povídky z těchto svazků povídkových souborů: Evička a jiné výjevy rodinné, Páté přes deváté, Rodiny a rodinky, Staří mládenci, Z pamětí starého mrzouta. Jako metodu výzkumu jsem zvolila analýzu z hlediska skladby, počtu a typologie členů jednotlivých rodin, jejich vzájemných vazeb a vztahů, rodinných událostí a každodennosti.In my work, I have focused to stance of making literature family, its members and relations in the writings of Ignát Herrmann. Ignát Herrmann (1854-1935) was a reporter, feulletonist, author of novels, tales and memories of Prague. His most familiar writings are: Otec Kundelík a ženich Vejvara, U snědeného krámu and Vdavky Nanynky Kulichové. I have worked with writings publicated between years 1893 and 1913, and I focused on the common relation theme of family. To my research, I have chosen novels: Evička a jiné výjevy rodinné, Páté přes deváté, Rodiny a rodinky, Staří mládenci, Z pamětí starého mrzouta. Used reserch method has been analytics.

Alternative forest management strategies to adapt to climate change: An economic evaluation for Germany
No full textSince the year 2018, the yield and management situation in German forest enterprises is characterized by extreme weather events (storms, draught) and, consequently, bark beetle calamities, leading to a significant above-average occurrence of damaged timber. In addition to processing the damaged timber, forest managers are challenged to develop and implement silvicultural adaptation strategies to climate change in order to ensure future wood production and long-term viability of these enterprises. In our study, we aimed to estimate the long-term economic impacts of an active climate change adaptation strategy compared to a passive, successional adaptation strategy on the forestry sector under consideration of climate change induced survival probabilities, using - and enhancing - the Forest Economic Simulation Model (FESIM). Based on our study's assumptions about tree species changes, we find that active forest conversion demands greater initial financial investment. However, in the long run, it proves to be economically more sustainable despite persistent risks. This is due to the potential for higher growing stock, felling volume, and ultimately improved yields in the future. The findings from our analysis offer valuable insights and decision-making guidance for both forest enterprises and forest policy, regarding the two adaptation strategies.Seit dem Jahr 2018 ist die Ertrags- und Bewirtschaftungssituation in deutschen Forstbetrieben durch extreme Witterungsereignisse (Stürme, Trockenheit) und in der Folge durch Borkenkäferkalamitäten geprägt, die zu einem deutlich überdurchschnittlichen Schadholzaufkommen führten. Neben der Aufarbeitung des Schadholzes sind die Waldbewirtschafter gefordert, waldbauliche Anpassungsstrategien an den Klimawandel zu entwickeln und umzusetzen, um die zukünftige Holzproduktion und die langfristige Überlebensfähigkeit der Forstbetriebe zu sichern. Ziel unserer Studie war es, die langfristigen wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen einer aktiven Anpassungsstrategie an den Klimawandel im Vergleich zu einer passiven, sukzessiven Anpassungsstrategie auf den Forstsektor unter Berücksichtigung von klimawandelbedingten Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeiten abzuschätzen. Auf der Grundlage der in unserer Studie getroffenen Annahmen über Baumartenveränderungen stellen wir fest, dass die aktive Waldumwandlung anfänglich höhere finanzielle Investitionen erfordert. Langfristig erweist er sich jedoch trotz anhaltender Risiken als wirtschaftlich nachhaltiger. Der Grund dafür ist das Potenzial für einen höheren Holzvorrat, ein höheres Einschlagsvolumen und letztlich bessere Erträge in der Zukunft. Die Ergebnisse unserer Analyse bieten sowohl für die Forstbetriebe als auch für die Forstpolitik wertvolle Erkenntnisse und Entscheidungshilfen für die beiden Anpassungsstrategien
